Input Delay in FC 26
Platform: PC (EA App / Steam
Mode: Pro Clubs/UT
Average Ping: 40ms – 80ms (A-Grade Bufferbloat)
Issue Description: I am experiencing a specific type of "Input Delay" in FC 26. At the start of a match, the gameplay feels responsive and sharp. However, as the match progresses, the input delay increases until the players feel "heavy," moving through mud, and taking 1–2 seconds to respond to stick inputs also when i play with friends my game is late compared to them.
Key Observation - Camera Conflict: I have noticed that the delay is significantly worse when using the Pro Camera. Toggling to a static camera like immediately improves the responsiveness but the issue presists.
Troubleshooting Already Attempted (No success):
- Disabled HAGS and Game Mode in Windows.
- Capped FPS at 90 and 144 via amd Control Panel (VSync Off).
- Cleared EA App Cache and Shader Cache.
- Set fcsetup.ini to Read-Only with optimized settings.
- Disabled all overlays (EA, Discord, Steam).
- reinstalled the anti cheat.
- reinstalled the game.
- Verified that CPU/GPU temperatures are stable (No thermal throttling).
Specific Questions for EA Tech Team:
Is there a known issue with the Pro Camera's dynamic rendering causing input delays on PC?
Why does the input delay "build up" over the course of a match rather than staying consistent with the ping?
hope i get reply soon thank you
